The event is intended to foster an examination and discussion of how filmmakers use art to uplift, confront and impact American culture, using the work of writer August Wilson as a touchstone. His 10-play American Century Cycle includes “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.”
The festival will celebrate the contributions of Michael Schultz, who will receive the Black Bottom Film Festival Award for Cinematic Excellence. Mr. Schultz, one of the first African-American directors hired by the major studios, is director of the award-winning film “Woman Thou Art Loosed.” In television, he has directed “black-ish,” “Star,” “New Girl,” “My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” “Arrow” and more.
After the award ceremony, there will be a double-feature of Mr. Schultz’s “Cooley High” and “Which Way Is Up?” starring Richard Pryor.
